Experimental Price Indexes for Financial Services(cat. no. 6413.0.55.001) was first published October 2004. In response to community interest in the price of financial services, the ABS has started to measure fees; charges; price changes in interest margins and indirect taxes, as well as transfer expenses for both real estate and shares. An information paper was published in July, and the next edition of the continuing series of experimental estimates will be published January 2005.
